Meet our August Leader of the Month: Ryan Weigand! 🍌

Ryan is our Conference and Event Coordinator, and if you've ever run a booth at a big event, you know exactly how much goes into it.

Shipping deadlines, badge lists, signage, the box that absolutely cannot get left behind. Ryan handles all of it, usually before anyone thinks to ask.

Here's why that matters more than it might sound: Conferences are where a lot of good work begins.

It's where a rural health center learns what a mobile clinic could do for the families they serve, or a hospital team starts imagining care that reaches a neighborhood they've struggled to get to.

Those conversations need a room, a table, and someone who made sure it all came together.

That someone is Ryan. Way to go, huge congrats!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

September is National Recovery Month, and this week the Embassy Suites in Greensboro fills up with the people who make recovery possible in North Carolina.

The 2026 NC ATOD Conference runs September 10-11, focused on best practices in opioid treatment.

Two days of sessions built for the nurses, counselors, administrators, and support staff who keep treatment programs running across the state.

Jacki Giarratano, Director of Compliance here at Mission Mobile Medical, is one of the speakers.

Treatment only helps if people can actually get to it, and for a lot of families that's the hard part: no ride, no time off work, too many miles.

Bringing treatment closer is possible, and doing it right takes knowing the rules inside and out. That's Jacki's corner of the work.

If you'll be in Greensboro, let’s connect. Always good to meet the people doing this work firsthand.

Some good news out of Alabama.

TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY Center for Biomedical Research just unveiled its new Community Health Outreach Clinic, a mobile clinic headed into rural and underserved communities with health education, preventive services, and connections to care and research.

For a lot of families, the hardest part of getting care isn’t wanting it. It’s the drive, the day off work, the ride that falls through. A program like this takes some of that off the table.

Cheering on the Tuskegee team and the neighborhoods that will see this bus pull up. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Two mobile clinics are now part of the HealthWorks for Northern Virginia team: one medical, one dental.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

These two clinics are headed to Title I schools across the region, bringing medical and dental care to students, families, and school staff right where they already spend their days.

Rooting for the HealthWorks team and their partners at Loudoun County Public Schools.

Ask anyone who lives on a road like this one and they can tell you exactly how far it is to the doctor. They’ve done the drive enough times to know.

That distance adds up. Gas, a day off work, someone to watch the kids, a car that has to hold up both ways.

Sometimes the appointment just doesn’t happen, not because it didn’t matter, but because getting there cost more than the family had that week.

About 1 in 7 Americans live in rural communities, and nationwide, 92 million people live somewhere with a shortage of primary care providers. Millions more are short on dental care.

Those aren’t strangers. They’re the folks in line at the feed store and the parents in the pickup lane.

Mobile clinics flip the drive around.

Instead of families traveling to care, care comes down the road to them. Parking at the school, the church, the fire station, the community center.

Same trusted local doctors, nurses, and dental teams. Just a whole lot closer.

Nobody should have to choose between a paycheck and a check-up.

For many families in New Mexico, the hardest part of getting care isn't the appointment; it's the distance to get there.

Presbyterian Healthcare Services is helping change that.

Their Mobile Health Center program just grew from one clinic to three, bringing everyday care, wellness visits, immunizations, and screenings to communities in and around Albuquerque, Española, and Las Cruces, on hours that work around people's jobs and lives.

The two newest mobile health centers were built carefully and quickly, at about half the usual cost and, as always, in half the usual time.

The sooner and leaner the build, the more of the budget goes to care and the sooner someone gets seen. That's how much the people being served matter.

The real story here is Presbyterian and the communities welcoming them in. Care is a little closer to home today.

Two days with mobile health leaders from across the country in Colfax, and a lot of good conversation about what it actually takes to grow a program.

Proud to have been part of the 2026 Mobile Health Leadership Summit alongside GMMA and everyone who made the trip.

The work happening in this field right now is worth paying attention to.

The first day of school comes with a long list; supplies, schedules, nerves. Getting to a doctor’s appointment shouldn’t have to be on it.

Our friends at Preston-Taylor Community Health Centers, Inc. are starting the year with their School-Based Health Center team ready for students right on campus.

That means a kid can be seen without missing a full day of class, and a parent doesn’t have to choose between a paycheck and a sick visit.

Rooting for the Preston-Taylor team, the students, the families, and every teacher and staff member walking through the doors this year.

The first day of school is here! 📚 🍎

Our School-Based Health Center team is ready to support students throughout the school year with convenient, compassionate care right at school.

We wish all of our students, families, teachers, and school staff a happy, healthy, and successful year ahead! ✏️

Michigan teams are bringing care to people all over the state. Down back roads, into parking lots, out to places where the nearest clinic is a long drive away. And most of them are figuring out the hard parts on their own.

The Michigan Mobile Healthcare Roundtable is a chance to stop doing that.

Tuesday, October 20 in Traverse City, community health centers, hospitals, and community-based organizations are getting in one room to talk through the real stuff: how to pay for a mobile program, how to staff it, which services make sense on board, and how to keep it going year after year.

All teach. All learn. If your program has been running for years, come share what you’ve learned. If it’s still a sketch on a whiteboard, come ask everything.

Hagerty Center at Northwestern Michigan College, right on the water in Traverse City. 9:00 am to 2:00 pm Eastern. Free to attend.

Thank you to the Michigan Primary Care Association for helping get the word out to health center teams across Michigan. 🚐

A free working day for Michigan organizations running mobile health programs, and for those considering one. October 20, 2026, Hagerty Center, Traverse City.
